RESULTS: Splyce Crush G2 Esports to Move up the Ladder

It’s pretty rare to see a team win a perfect game, so even when a match comes close to being perfect, it draws a lot of attention. What is even rarer, is when a team like G2 Esports almost suffers such an indignity. Splyce had all the moves going into this match, and it showed as they were methodical in their takedown of the former champions.

The match started out with a bang, as Splyce took first blood with an excellent gank onto the top lane. Never a team to let an advantage go to waste, Splyce capitalized on their momentum, catching out G2’s jungler for a second kill. Splyce was also able to claim the first turret of the game, with jungler Andrei "Xerxe" Dragomir roaming bot to help take down G2’s bot lane duo, and take their turret. From there it was only a short hop to the Dragon, before they also rotated to take the Rift Herald, boosting their pushing power.

Splyce continued to push their advantage, forcing G2 away from objectives as they destroyed more turrets and secured their second Dragon. When it was finally time to take down the Baron, Splyce was already in position, capturing the objective and adding its power to their own. With minions boosted by Baron and a Banner of Command, Splyce was able to push in and crack the base defences of G2, though at the cost of Xerxe’s life. This would be the only death Splyce would suffer, as G2 tried desperately to hold onto what was left of their base. By the time the second Baron was secured, G2’s fate was all but sealed, as their last ditch defence was crushed. The nexus would fall, and Splyce would take the opportunity to strengthen their position as they look to playoffs.
